Hi everyone.

I still have my seed and my wallet password from electrum.
However whenever i start electrum there is no way to recover a wallet, it always only gives me the option to remake a NEW wallet, not to recover an old one.
I tried redownloading electrum but it's the same over and over again.
Willing to pay some moneys to the person who helps me fix this.

No need to offer a bounty for this question Wink, you were on the right track anyways:
just follow the wizard to create a new wallet, one of the following steps will give you the option to either create a new seed, or re-use an old one (i think the correct phrase is "i already have a seed").

BTW: you don't actually need to use the same password again, just use the same seed and chose any (new) password you'd like.

It's right here:

you selected "create a new seed"
you needed to select "I already have a seed"

Just choose in the second image you posted the option "I already have a seed" not the "Create a new seed" then paste you seed then that's all, you can now recover your wallet.

EDIT: Oh it seems mocacinno said it already seconds before me.
